I usually try to make a trip with someone - I have a 2 space trailer and if needed to could put one in the bed as well.

Helps when splitting.

Diesel is already over $5 a gallon! I just suck it up, put it on the card and bitch when the bill comes in. I do limit my weekday travel though and consolidate as many trips as I can.

I live about a half mile from the cal. line on 395n , it really sucks to go to work 6 days a week (44miles round trip). I paid $4.13 a gallon yesterday, but if i want to ride my bike or the quad i just leave on it. dont go on the trailer very often. we have alot of trails that we can ride from the house(peavine mountian, peterson range, hungry valley, moon rocks etc. )
)any way gas prices suck.
I ride an 07 eiger 400,mit-tec front hard box,26 12x12 itps,2500 warn,kc lights,40 channel cb,garmin gps w/topos,6 gear bags,rear seat or dog kennel, rifle scabbard, pistol holster,and the list goes on...................

88 Octane just hit $4.11/gallon here in Utah.

Much like someone else said, we're just sucking it up.

We have limited our RV and camping trips for this year though. Where we'd usually head out 4-6 times over the summer, we may only do 2 this year (we already did our first over Memorial).

I'm also contemplating a motorcycle or scooter to get to/from work, instead of my 10mpg Durango. (I really like the new CanAm Spider).

Gass this Morning - (6/5/08) 87 Oct. $4.43 in Sacramento.

Yea, I could probably find a "few" cents cheaper. Lose the benefit finding it though.
